HC IN DOMESTIC REFRIGERATION
Biggest success story so far
Over 1.5 billion domestic refrigeratorsalready use hydrocarbons today
HC is the standard for 50% globalproduction of new domestic refrigerationequipment
By 2020, 75% of new production globallywill use R600a / R290

CONSUMER BRANDS CHOOSE NATURAL REFRIGERANTS
5.5 million units using natural refrigerants (HC & CO2) collectively installed
=> 33 million tonnes of avoided CO2 (equivalent emissions of more than 6.7 million passenger cars over one year)
Increasing number of consumer brands choosing HCs for their point of sale equipment - often targeting global procurement 100%

KEY TREND: CO2 COST OF EQUIPMENT DECREASING
In Europe:
Cost of equipment becoming comparable to systems using HFCs
HFC alternatives growing in availability => prices falling - in commercial refrigeration same as HFC technology or 5-10% higher
Each year, reported higher energy efficiency, lower prices as technology reaches mass production

CASE STUDY: FIRST CO2 TRANSCRITICAL SYSTEM IN CHILE
Jumbo supermarket in Valdivia
First CO2-only transcritical refrigeration system installed by SCM Frigo
The project was implemented by the Ministry of Environment’s Ozone Unit and was funded by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC).
5,300 m2 store built to the highest standards in sustainability
Includes 100% LED lighting and an integrated building energy management system
Project leaders claim that the system delivers energy savings of about 20%
First instance of CO2 TC refrigeration in Chile; an opportunity to promote the technology, eliminate HCFCs and minimise the use of HFC-based systems in the country.

COMPETITION BETWEEN NR SYSTEMS INCREASING
NR cutting edge technologies becoming strong trend and competing:
• ammonia low charge
• CO2 transcritical
• NH3/CO2
market traditionally dominated by ammonia and HFCs
Key drivers:
increased safety - lower risk
higher efficiency
easier servicing
return on investment for the end user
growing competition - prices pushed down, technology becoming more available

JAPAN: INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION WITH CO2 & NH3
The market is changing, from a strong reliance on R22 to a renewed uptake of (lower charge) NH3 systems
Estimated 450+ installations use secondary NH3-CO2 systems
NEXT: export of the technology to other regions
BUT: the use of CO2 transcritical systems still faces restrictions through the High Pressure Gas Safety Act

CASE STUDY: R290 COLD STORAGE IN COLOMBIA
R290 tested in cold storage for post-harvest flower processing and export in Colombia (with support by Ozone unit)
Colombia’s flower sector: 31.1 million kW of cooling capacity, 99% of which is R22
Opportunity to increase efficiency by switching to R290
Challenges: lack of expertise, training, lack of technical standards, insurance policies or legal structures

CONCLUSIONS
• Legislation is key in creating pressure in the industry to switch away from high GWP HFCs / HCFCs - Kigali Amendment will accelerate the transition around the world = opportunity to leapfrog to natural refrigerants
• Availability of natural refrigerant technologies is increasing = competition to increase performance & reduce cost
• Updating standards to allow higher hydrocarbon charges is vital to enable market uptake of HFC-free technology at wider scale
